Hello,
Just a quick question.
Anyone know if the current speed and stability of the Flash Speederstays this slow?
I mean, it looks flashy but has the speed of a speederbike, not even comparable to a swoopbike or AV-21.
For that extra money we had to pay for this bike maybe it might be upgraded to a bit faster speed? 
Greets,

What do ya mean? You got it for free! Anyways, they can't make it comparable to any of the speeders because it would bite into the crafters' jobs since you have an unlimited supply of flash speeders (barring paying to respawn). It's mainly meant as a status symbol.

Extra money? Preorder was the same as off the shelf price. Its a perk to get you to preorder, not to pay more.

cretin. you want it all for nothing dont you? c'mon, with racetracks, you cant give the fastest vehicle in the game to a select few who preordered! thats bloody wrong. europeans who couldnt afford the £50 (i for one) would be well ticked off! if anything, make it so speederbikes/swoops are speed dependant on the crafter!

Payed extra? Dude, you got ripped of... it costs the same, just had to pre-order in time.

You won't see anything faster than a swoop until the devs rebuild parts of the game. If I recall, the vehicles were faster back when they were being tested on TC, but they went too fast and players were getting kicked when they hopped server boundaries. As it is, the swoop is at the highest reliable speed. That speed being rediculously sluggish in itself, however.

Well since people had to pre order JTL onthe Ebgames site to get the Flash speederthey also had to pay shipping costs so it cost more than just walking into the store to pick up the game. In my case I payed for overnight shipping.
I am totally satisfied with the speed and especially the look of this cool bike. I use it all the time now.

This is totally incorrect. You could have just walked into the store and pre-ordered (gamestop/ebgames) and walked out with your flash speeder. I did. Actually only had to put $5 down too.

You really can't complain about the speeder.
1. It was free (if you paid more for your preorder, that's your fault dummy 
)
)2. It is unique and rare, more so than the AV-21 because there are a finite number of them.
3. You can't lose it! If youre in the boonies and it gets destroyed, you just type /flashspeeder and pay the cash and you have a ride home!
4. It really hurts Artisans. My swoop broke the other day and I have yet to go buy another cause I'm using my Flash.
Remember, it's a bonus! If you want uber and leet, go buy an AV 21 !
Hell, my special edition goggles don't do $h17 for me except make me look like a Bothan Pimp!
Wanna talk about getting ripped off!??? You know how much extra I had to pay for those goggles!!??
